Its destination still remains a profound secret. THE Channel Fleet arrived at Torbay .on - Sunday last, from their station off Brest.

The PaiN'cE, hi we before stcs'ed,•' was received on his arrival at Bahia, which took place on the 19th of January, with every possible testimony of regard by the people, who, for several ,dayi, illu minated their`bonSes, and had fire-works in honour of the occasion. The Order that the Prince issued on the 28th for the regulation of trade, Which we in sert. this day,,will be highly acceptable, to the tiler,. cantle interests. :We are sorry to find, however, that private letters state that the fleet of merchant ships which quitted Lisbon, in - January bad been separated by adVerse weather,.and that some of them had fallen into the hands of the French and,Spani ords. -The Portuguese. veasels in the Spanish ports pf South America had been Seized.‘. War had been declared between the Portuguese and Spaniards in that part of the world. The. British Squadron under ' the command of COmmodore Moots, and the.chief part of the POrtuguese ships had 'proceeded to Bin. de Janeiro. The Prince had not. only itumediately.edopted measures for the regulation of commerce, ,but bad endeavoured to confirm the atTeaion of the people, by the Most condescending affability. fie had visited several parts of the neighbouring coraitry, and was present at a bursting party about 15 leagues from Bahia' . • . Bad weather had s Tarated the Principe Reale from the rest of the Squadron, but she was joined on the 15th January by the Becybrd Man of War, Captain WALKER. The Atfonso had arrived safe at. Bahia at the same period; and the rest of the Royal Family were at Rio de Janeiro, with the British and Pond. guese Men of War, some of which had previously entered Pernambuco, after a severe hulloing with the weather.
